Rejected petition Stop a Waste Transfer Station being built in the Centre of Bacup.

Prevent the construction of a waste transfer station inside the town of Bacup, East Lancashire.

More details

The proposed Waste Transfer Station is to be built in close proximity to residential areas, supermarkets and local businesses.

The impact upon the town's infrastructure will be devastating.

The station is to be built very close to two large supermarkets and the river irwell. There is a risk of cross transmission from rats, vermin and other pathogens.
